Martine Gutierrez

Neo-Indeo, Glamour is a Heavy Burden, p36 from Indigenous Woman, 2018

Chromogenic print | 3/8 (edition of 8 + 2APs) | 54 7/8 x 36 7/8 in

In this striking chromogenic print from her artist magazine Indigenous Woman, Martine Gutierrez poses in a high-gloss, editorial tableau that subverts the visual codes of luxury fashion. By inserting her own image as a trans Latinx woman of Indigenous descent, into the framework of mass media, Gutierrez dismantles and reclaims dominant ideals of femininity, beauty, and power. Styled and staged entirely by the artist, Neo-Indeo fuses pop culture with personal mythology, asserting presence in spaces historically shaped by exclusion. The work exemplifies Gutierrez’s expansive practice, where self-representation becomes a tool of both visibility and resistance.
